The bailout plan failed to pass the house. Despite claiming the plan would pass, House Republicans didn’t back the bill. Many Democrats didn’t back the bill either. While Senator McCain took credit for joining the parties and rescuing the bill, the bill didn’t pass. So he rescued, I’m not sure.

The credit crunch continues. Maybe we need a simplified “New Credit” plan that will inject the needed credit to people that need it, rather than using money to buy “old, bad credit.”

Another mark to show the need for a new third party in America, maybe the “American Party” or “Reform” that could really put the country first and hold the other two sides accountable.

Nothing changes the fact that the economy needs an injection of credit, can we at least get that done.

getting a D in her economics class. Since we are in the worst economic times

since the combo of WW II and the Great Depression it is nice to see Senator McCain put country first with a D Economics student on board a heart beat away as they say.

I’m an undecided, independent voter and this news is troubling to me. College level Macro Economics is not rocket science and a poor mark in this class would show a general misunderstanding of the overall economy. Not to say she couldn’t have learned since.

Of note, a student who gets a C or below in any Graduate level class will not qualify for a masters degree. So we can be certain that Senator Obama graded B or better at the hardest schools in the country.
